I don't go very often either!<br /><br />Betsy: Oh girlfriend dig them all out ! They make a gorgeous table for something special !<br /><br />Donna: Thank you want to help clean some of it ?<br /><br />Penny: Yes, that's the downfall...cleaning. But well worth the effort.<br /><br />L.D. Yes, you are correct ! It's all about the hunt, and I'd take the horse too ;)<br /><br />Deanna: You may borrow it if your in a need !<br /><br />Gaston Studio: The best thing, is the entire lot has cost less than 100.00 maybe 75.00. One piece would probably cost that much ,new.<br /><br />Katie: Thank you, I like all the pieces, and still on the look out for more.<br /><br />Betsy: Ooh I love to see some of them.<br /><br />Matron: Not even the Oxfam or "Cancer support" thrift stores ?<br />Hmmm. You certainly lucked out to find a Hallmarked piece.<br /><br />Star: I mostly use it for Christmas and special dinners. The remainder of the year it's tucked away, and then polished when I use it..<br /><br />Dave Pie-n-Mash: OK, busted ! <br />I confess to having the personality of a Magpie. If it shines, then it's back to my nest with the loot :)<br /><br />George: I must admit, I really don't care for all the cleaning. However in the end, it's worth the effort.<br /><br />DJan: I bet your bowl is gorgeous !<br />I'd like to find a silver-edged salad bowl, it could be used for a number of purposes.<br /><br />Carol: Middle Tennessee has lots of bargains....come shop !<br /><br />Barbars Anne: Oooh I hope you find something nice. <br /><br />Cheshire Wife: I clean it about twice a year, if I use it more often, then I'll give it another polish.<br /><br />Denise: Yes, do check them out ! There's no telling what treasure you'll find.
